MCP is the Model Context Protocol, the way Claude Code connects to outside tools.\n\n- The code that tidies up session messages now handles a new \"session append\" message.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese point towards syncing MCP setup at the repository level and a new kind of session update.\n\n- Area: Settings\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: both\n- Heads-up: no"}
